연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

A self-contained gimbaled weapon system (GWS) has a shared azimuth axis and two independent elevation axes for a sighting device and a weapon cradle. The GWS allows the weapon cradle to be elevated completely independent of the sighting device. The GWS can be stabilized and operated remotely.

1. A gimbaled weapon station (GWS), comprising, in combination,a) a weapon cradle;b) at least one sighting device;c) an azimuth drive means for simultaneously moving the sighting device and weapon cradle in azimuth direction;d) a first elevation means for moving the weapon cradle in elevation;e) a second elevation means for moving the sighting device in elevation, the second elevation means capable of operating independently of the first elevation means; andf) a control unit having a control algorithm means for coordinating movement of the first and second elevation means. 2. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising a fire control processor capable of determining a fire control solution. 3. The GWS of claim 1 further characterized in that the azimuth drive means and first and second elevation means are electrically connected to the control unit and a central processing unit to allow for remote control operation. 4. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising a stabilization system. 5. The GWS of claim 4 further characterized in that the stabilization system contains a fiber optic gyro to stabilize the GWS in azimuth direction. 6. The GWS of claim 4 further characterized in that the stabilization system contains a fiber optic gyro to stabilize the sighting device. 7. The GWS of claim 4 further characterized in that the stabilization system contains a fiber optic gyro to stabilize the weapon cradle. 8. The GWS of claim 4 further characterized in that the stabilization system contains a fiber optic gyros to stabilize the sighting device and weapon cradle. 9. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising a stabilization system where the weapon cradle moved by the first elevation means and the sighting device moved by the second elevation means can be stabilized in common or independently. 10. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising an operator control and display electrically connected to the control unit and remotely located from the weapon cradle and sighting device. 11. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising means to identify a weapon type installed on the weapon cradle. 12. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising a range finder. 13. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising at least one target sensor in communication with the control unit. 14. The GWS of claim 13 where the target sensor is located remotely from the GWS and the control unit. 15. The GWS of claim 1 further comprising an observation unit that is located remotely from the GWS and the control unit. 16. A gimbaled weapon station, comprising, in combination,a) a weapon cradle;b) at least one sighting device;c) an azimuth drive means for simultaneously moving the sighting device and weapon cradle in azimuth direction;d) a first elevation means for moving the weapon cradle in elevation;e) a second elevation means for moving the sighting device in elevation, the second elevation means capable of operating independently of the first elevation means;f) a control unit containing a control algorithm means for coordinating movement of the first and second elevation means;g) a fire control processor capable of determining a fire control solution; andh) a stabilization system. 17. A gimbaled weapon station system, comprising, in combination,a) a weapon cradle;b) at least one sighting device;c) an azimuth drive means for simultaneously moving the sighting device and weapon cradle in azimuth direction;d) a first elevation means for moving the weapon cradle in elevation;e) a second elevation means for moving the sighting device in elevation, the second elevation means capable of operating independently of the first elevation means;f) a control unit in communication with the first and second elevation means using a control algorithm means; andg) at least one target sensor capable of interfacing with the control unit. 18. A method of maintaining the aimpoint of a weapon in a position offset from the line of sight of a sighting device during operation of a GWS comprising the following steps in combination,a ) providing a self contained GWS having both a sighting device and a weapon cradle, where the weapon cradle is elevated using a first elevation mechanism;b) elevating the sighting device using a second elevation mechanism to acquire a target based on signals received from an observation unit located remotely from the GWS;c) sensing the elevation of the sighting device using a first sensor that is in communication with a control unit;d) sensing the elevation of the weapon cradle using a second sensor that is in communication with the control unit;f) calculating an offset elevation for the weapon cradle using a central processing unit and an algorithm means based on the elevation of the sighting device;g) changing the elevation of the weapon cradle and installed weapon using the first elevation mechanism to maintain the offset elevation calculated in step f); andh) repeating steps a) through g) for each new elevation of the sighting device. 19. A method of positioning a weapon during operation of a GWS based on target acquisition obtained from a sighting device or target sensor comprising the following steps in combination,a) providing a self contained GWS having both a sighting device and a weapon cradle, where the weapon cradle is elevated using a first elevation mechanism;b) elevating the sighting device using a second elevation mechanism to acquire a target based on signals received from an observation unit located remotely from the GWS;c) determining the distance to the target using a range location device;d) sensing the elevation of the weapon cradle;e) determining a fire control solution using a logic algorithm that receives as input at least the distance to target and the elevation of the weapon cradle; andf) changing the elevation of the weapon cradle and installed weapon using the first elevation mechanism in response to the determined fire control solution without changing the elevation of the sighting device. 20.
